REBECCA IS IN HOSPITAL.

It is 11.35pm and at this moment in time she is having brain surgery to aspirate a rarther large and deep rooted abcess in her brain. We are hoping that they will be able to aspitate the abcess through a small hole but she may have to have a full blown craniotomy.

I will update as soon as I know any more.

Your prayers and good wishes are needed.

Thanks
Mandy

Oh my goodness!!!

Praying here!

The strangest thing happened the other day...Lydia's mom posted that Lydia was not doing well and needed our prayers. And for some reason, in my wacky brain (or maybe it was a God thing), I thought about Becca. So I have been praying for Becca for several days now. Praying for Lydia, too...and Noah...all of you guys are having such a hard time!

Our sermon in church on Sunday was about persistent prayer. So...I am persistently praying for all of these Wish Kids...and specifically for Becca right now!

Hang in there!!!!

Mandy - please add my prayers to those being said for Becca and you guys. Hoping for a speedy recovery and complete healing for our precious girl!

She is in my prayers. I hope everything went well with the surgery.

Oh Lord... Please be with Becca right now. Guide the surgeons' hands. Fill that operating room with your angels. Please surround Mandy and dad with your comforting presence. Amen.

I will tell her that we are all pulling for her. If i get Mandy's approval I will let everyone know all the info i have.

Becca has had her surgery and is in PICU.

At around 2 hours after taking her to surgery the brain surgoen came and told us that he had drained the abcess but unfortunately she had blood in the stuff they aspirated out and after a CT scan they had found that she was carrying on bleeding and filling the cavity they had just created by draining the abcess. Blood and bacteria had also managed to get into the left ventrical of the brain so we are in a fingers crossed and wait pattern at the moment.
She has a drain in her skull going down into the brain to try and drain the left ventrical and is on a whole slew load of antibiotics to combat the infection. We are waiting to see infectious desease people to try and pinpoint the bacteria she actually had growing in the brain. The abcess was spherical in shape measuring around 3cmx3cmx5cm plus a whole load of water that had gathered around it. The abcess is still there but is now full of blood instead of bacteria.
Becca hasnt really regained consciousness as "Becca" as yet, she has been awake and a little bit aware but doesnt really acknowledge us or anyone around her. We have been told that this is due to the trauma she has suffered, but they cant tell us whether or not this is a long lasting thing or will disappear soon.
She is presently having a CAT scan to see where she is at.

We are looking at at least 2 to 3 weeks in hospital with 3 to 6 months of antibiotics via a IV PIC line.

We are devastated and just want to see OUR little girl.

We will update as we can, it is hard when in PICU because we arent allowed electronics etc and have to rely on the hospital computer being free in the parents room.

Thanks for all of your prayers
Mandy

I haven't ever posted on a trip report, but have read Becca's story faithfully. She is an amazing little girl with a huge personality - she is definitely in my prayers, as are you and your husband. She's lucky to have such a dedicated mother.

 

[Khalana]

Crazy.... Will be praying for her still and for the two of you. It is so hard to spend time in the hospital.... Lots of and coming your way.

 

[maroo]

Oh Mandy...

I am so sorry!

We are praying for you guys. I am sitting her in tears at my desk just thinking about how hard this is for all of you guys.

We are praying. We have a church retreat tonight and I will let them know, as well, to pray for a sweet girl named Becca!

Keep us posted, as much as you are able. We love you guys!!!
